SBSB: Standard Babylonian (ca. 1000–0 BCE) ḫepê mātim Enl[il i]qtabi šu-me-ri-iš MHEO 2, 70: 20 “for Sumer, Enlil commanded the break-up of the land”.
Discussion
With Charpin/Durand 1994 and Foster 2005, 373, pace Lambert 1994, 71 and Lambert 1995, not “in Sumerian”. Differently from the previous translators, we take Enlil as subj. of the sentence and not as genitive after māt. For a GN with terminative case, cf. bar-sìp-iš ib. 32 “into Borsippa”.
